Description
This price behavior unfolds in four (4) steps:
Step 1: Price breaks out of a base and has a sharp move higher without many pullbacks.
Step 2: Price corrects, sometimes rather swiftly.
Step 3: Price rallies back to new highs.
Step 4: Price fails to hold its new high and rolls over.
What you need to know
After a stock has a large advance without many pullbacks, the next move to new highs (coming out of its first correction) may fail because it's too obvious.
The sharp move higher (Step 1) tends to bring a lot of attention to the stock.
When stocks receive a lot of attention, they may top because everyone is expecting to get into the stock after it already had a large move higher.
